Ineligible Activities

  • Script or project development

Eligibility Criteria

  • Note: Any grant offered will only be paid into a bank account held in the name of the applicant, and the applicant will be required to accept the terms and conditions of that grant.
  • To be eligible to apply, applicants must be resident in the Republic of Ireland.
  • However, they may accept applications from outside the Republic of Ireland. In this case, you must detail in your application form how your proposal would benefit the arts in the Republic of Ireland. They would need to be satisfied with your explanation.

  • Written confirmation in the form of clearances and permissions of key subjects’ willingness to participate
  • Examples of the artist’s recent work in film that are indicative of their film practice and inform the proposed work. These should be in the form of three ten-minute (max.) excerpts and should not be presented as a showreel. You may submit these as video files or as links included in a text document. Please note that links to material hosted on sites other than YouTube or Vimeo will not be viewed, and your application will be deemed ineligible.
